Basix:Electricity Manager

The electricity industry has faced a number of challenges in recent years, with constant change and industry re-organisations. Given current environmental and regulatory impacts, the future looks set to further test the industry over the years ahead.

Today's electricity industry needs advanced technology and appropriate software solutions that can solve various problems, while remaining agile and flexible to the wave of constant change and business challenges.

Basix:Electricity Manager is designed for Asset Owners, Network Operators and Lines Companies but also has a range of Contractor options and field staff functions. It provides the agility and flexibility needed for the industry and starts with a range of proven asset, maintenance and works management functions.

More than just recording all Network and other assets under management, these functions automate and control the whole life cycle of these assets. This is achieved through workflow and a range of processes covering all aspects of an assets life.

The standard Basix:Electricity Manager package includes the following functions for:

Asset Register

Work Tasks

Works Packaging

Maintenance Schedules

With optional functions for:

Outage Management Recording

Interruptions to electricity supply can be recorded and managed.

Reliability Reporting

The Regulators within the industry demand accurate reporting of SAIDI and SAIFI for disclosure purposes. Functionality to provide the required reporting based on the Outage data recorded is available or can be charted as required by the user. This reporting also provides additional asset management reporting capability.

Regulatory Valuation

The Commerce Commission (Regulator) in New Zealand has defined specific business rules for the valuation of assets. This functionality has been developed to automate the annual process of re-calculation of the asset base. This functionality is dependent on the availability of specific data within the asset register.

Annual Planning

Several clients have developed alternative works planning or annual planning capabilities. EMS can assist with the provision of a solution to meet the specific business needs.

Incident Management

Also known as Hazard Management, has been developed for different clients based on required business rules. Once again EMS can assist in the provision of this functionality.

Basix:Electricity Manager has all the standard end-user features of Basix:Platform® and can easily integrate with other key business solutions such as Financial Systems, Document Management Systems, Geographical or Mapping Systems (GIS). Alternatively, it can grow to replace legacy and packaged systems and encapsulate a whole-of-business enterprise solution, in an ERP-style system that is designed specifically for your unique business.

Flexibility combined with proven and simple use of technology, is the hallmark of every Basix™ business solution. Your staff won't have problems trying to learn how to use Basix:Electricity Manager, as every application or module built on the Basix:Platform® looks and operates in exactly the same manner.

Basix:Electricity Manager is an innovative solution designed to start small and grow progressively into an agile business solution, allowing your organisation to achieve greater flexibility and control over its commercial business operations. Basix:Electricity Manager can solve immediate requirements as a point solution for works and asset management functions.
